Hello world! Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, Oxford University of Oxford Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University #malaria #vaccine #research #science #trial #FightMalaria #MalariaAwareness #MalariaPrevention #MalariaTreatment
#MeetTheResearcher This week's star researcher is Sarah Silk from Department of Biochemistry at Oxford University. Sarah is working as a Senior Clinical Trials Immunologist at Simon Draper's Lab. Her research focuses on set up, conduct and immunological analyses of blood-stage #malaria vaccine clinical trials.
#TuesdayReads Check out the Draper Group's latest publication! They explore how antibodies target PfRH5 to inhibit #malaria parasite invasion, providing insights for next-gen #vaccine design.
